The Institute of Education Sciences (Institute) invites applications for research projects that will contribute to its Special Education Research Program on Assessment for Accountability.
Through its program of Special Education Research on Assessment for Accountability (Assessment), the Institute intends to address questions of how assessments, measures of progress, assessment standards, and accountability provisions should be designed to capture and represent growth in high priority skills among children with disabilities. The long-term outcome of this program will be an array of assessment instruments and systems that are documented to have validity for students with disabilities.
